Inside the Casino
The public gaming rooms (European Rooms) are open to visitors for a small entry fee even if you don't intend to play; the ornate Salle Garnier opera house shares the same building. The exclusive Salons Privés require a jacket and higher stakes. Photography is restricted inside the gaming rooms — the exterior and gardens are unrestricted.
The Place du Casino
The square in front is as much the attraction as the building — manicured gardens, the Café de Paris terrace, and a rotating display of supercars parked outside. It's the Riviera's most photographed piece of architecture after the Promenade des Anglais.
“You don't need to gamble to visit — the Casino's public rooms, gardens and supercar-lined square are the point.”
Dress code and practical visit
Smart-casual applies after 8 PM in the European gaming rooms; a jacket is mandatory for the Salons Privés, and photo ID (18+) is required to enter any gaming area. Daytime visits to the gardens and exterior have no dress requirement.
